07:52 – We’ve had two incidents over the last couple days of drunk drivers driving the wrong way on Interstates. In one of them, a 20-year-old UNC student killed three people, including a 6-year-old girl. He’s been released to house arrest on a $1,000,000 bond. In the second case, from reading between the lines of the news stories, it appears that a drunken Mexican sideswiped another car before a cop rammed him to bring him to a stop.
My question is, why did I have to read between the lines to figure it out? Why did the newspaper and television news not simply report something like, “Rafael Sandoval-Perez, a Mexican who is in the US illegally …” or, better still, “Rafael Sandoval-Perez, a Mexican wetback …” Surely it wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that illegal Mexicans have a nasty tendency to drive drunk, without a license or insurance, and kill innocent bystanders. Yet another reason to round them up and return them to Mexico, preferably by air-dropping them in bulk, without parachutes. Return them to their native soil, so to speak.
